[Calc Review] Help me analyze this deal
This property is in a small rural town outside of Rockford. I had an opportunity to purchase low in cash. Now I am torn between financing and renting vs. flipping. The husband is leaning towards flipping due to distance (we are in Texas). We would get hit with small gains tax and would not have property. However, the home is modular and will eventually need electrical work the walls cannot accommodate, and is situated in a "dying town," according to a native resident. Given the context and the numbers, what would you do?
